Mounting the Collector or Repeater on a Wall
1. Remove the integrated mounting support (bolt, washer, lock washer, and mounting disk)
from the back of the device. These parts are not used for this mounting configuration.
2. Using four bolts, secure the collector or repeater to the two wall mounting brackets with the
antenna in the upright position.
3. Using four appropriate screws or bolts (not provided by Itron), attach the mounting brackets
to the wall.
Davit Arm Mount
The following figure illustrates a typical utility pole or street light pole installation. The collector or
repeater is mounted on a davit arm or the street light arm. Two types of power connections are
typical. You may use a photocell adapter cable when the collector or repeater is mounted on a
street light arm. This cable plugs into the photocell sensor of the street light. Use of the photocell
adapter requires the collector or repeater be grounded using the grounding lug on the bottom of
the collector or repeater. If the collector or repeater is mounted on a davit arm with no street light,
the power cable must be connected according to local electrical codes.
